Groups destroy trees, vandalise coffee mill and evict caretakers on disputed land in Kasanje, Wakiso

According to a petition by Kamuli Industrial Estates Limited reported by the Daily Monitor, two groups of people, some claiming to work for the State House land department, cut about six acres of trees, vandalised a coffee mill and beat and evicted caretakers on about seven acres of the company's land in Kasanje Town Council. The petition says the groups acted on the instructions of a man claiming a lease on the land, despite a High Court order to maintain the status quo. State House deputy spokesperson Faruk Kirunda said the people named are not State House employees.
